Sam’s Story

We call her Sam but she really has many names.  Sam is a first generation immigrant from Cambodia.  She came to this country after the Khmer Rouge separated her from her biological family.  Torn from the people she loved the most Sam was moved here to the US to ensure her a life of freedom.  She has dedicated her adult life to helping her biological family as well as the community that she was born into in Cambodia.  She travels there yearly to connect to her people and improve their lives however she can.  We love helping the women and families in her community learn new skills and earn a fair wage in order to help their families survive.
